What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Cranford Grange care home.

There is a quiz every day, there is big scrabble every week, there are outings... they take them out for shopping and coffee, museums... they have crafts, music, people coming in to play the piano, singers, ballet dancers... you name it! Lots going on… the residents can be kepy occupied all day if they want, and it's all very well organised.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff are very caring and can’t do enough for the residents… they care for them as individuals, it's not just a job… they are wonderful and I can’t fault them. They know me by name every time I visit, always greet me with a smile and they are there to help me out with anything... they're just wonderful.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The support and care that my loved one receives is fantastic. The way they speak with her is unbelievable… they understand her condition and treat her with such kindness. They always let us know what is going on in the home and we're often invited to participate in events... always kept informed and made to feel involved.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

I had forgotten how lovely the Cranford Grange grounds are to enjoy in the summer months. Having my family join me at the 80th Anniversary D-Day Event in the beautiful gardens, meeting and chatting to the Knutsford Cadets has been just lovely - certainly a day to remember.

Barbara, June 2024

Valentine lunch was a first for David and I - after 64 years of marriage we finally celebrated Valentine’s Day! It was a fantastic gesture and the meals, ambience and attention was 5-star. Thanks to the amazing team for all the care and help you give to David.
